[Elecraft] Phase noise vs. FD (was: FTDX5000 Design Flaw)

[Cortland Richmond]

Hi, Gene!

OFF TOPIC of course but IIRC, I brought my 751 to the Billerica ARC FD with
no complaints, but might have had a 751A by then. ON topic (sort of) WRT my
K2, no one here says anything about phase noise at the Grand Rapids FD. One
OT wants to sell his linear so he can buy a K2 . So far my FD rigs *here*
have been a TT Corsair II, a TT Paragon, and a K2.  The CW ops all like the
K2 best.  Adding a KAF2 today.

Cheers,

Cortland
